I did a quick internet search and can't seem to come up with any leads... anyone else have the inside scoop on this completely inconsequential tidbit? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.52196 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 17:45:34 -0800 cusack lebowski movies trivia thebiglebowski inconsequential http://ask.metafilter.com/52196/Who-was-the-bowler-that-rolled-The-Dude-in-The-Big-Lebowski#788282 wasn't it Maude Lebowski?<br> <br> she was played by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000194/">Julian Moore</a>...<br> also she was being taught to bowl by The Dude at the time... comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.52196-788282 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 17:58:13 -0800 MonkNoiz http://ask.metafilter.com/52196/Who-was-the-bowler-that-rolled-The-Dude-in-The-Big-Lebowski#788288 but then that was the second dream sequence...<br> the first one was The Dude flying around LA wasn't it? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.52196-788288 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:04:26 -0800 MonkNoiz http://ask.metafilter.com/52196/Who-was-the-bowler-that-rolled-The-Dude-in-The-Big-Lebowski#788306 MonkNoiz is right! It's definitely Maude Lebowski played by Julianne Moore. With one exception, the Dude (Jeff Bridges) never actually bowls in this film. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.52196-788306 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:25:38 -0800 plokent http://ask.metafilter.com/52196/Who-was-the-bowler-that-rolled-The-Dude-in-The-Big-Lebowski#788319 I agree. Maude. Remember the robe she puts on when he meets her for the first time? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.52196-788319 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:41:56 -0800 paleography http://ask.metafilter.com/52196/Who-was-the-bowler-that-rolled-The-Dude-in-The-Big-Lebowski#788404 Good responses.
